Our creative cooks have been busy putting together delicious recipes based on store cupboard basics, such as our recipe for Baked Bean Lasagne. Lots of these recipes can be made using less than five ingredients. There’s no need to skimp on dessert either – try a Fruity Oat Crumble Sundae or Jelly with Milk and Fruit.

It’s really handy to keep a well-stocked store cupboard – and save money by buying ingredients when they are on offer. Remember, most tinned items and bags of rice or pasta will have shelf life of many months. Dried herbs and spices add flavour to basic ingredients, so it’s worth building up a good selection. Take a look at our handy list of store cupboard ingredients to get you started.
